Meg: A Photo an Hour

Hello beautiful Fitnessista readers! Hope your week is moving right along ? I always complain about how my days off don’t feel long or eventful enough, so I decided to try a Photo an Hour challenge on Tuesday to get a better idea of how much I actually do on my weekends. Hope you enjoy,…

August 9: Tabata Thursday

Not much in the land of new healthy food ideas over here. I’ve been enjoying eggs aplenty and abusing the bag of steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s that I found in the fridge. Makes for some pretty unappetizing food photos 😉 I do have a hot bar record for ya, though:  $5.99! Ka-boom. (My record…

Planes, things and reps

“Oh, I smell you’ve been cheating on me.” As soon as Bella finished running laps in excitement when I picked her up from madre’s yesterday, she stopped to smell the lab scent that covered me, belonging to Jeni’s dog, Whiskey, who I canoodled with all weekend. (Had to type out the full story because it…

The gym to my heart

We’ve had a blast in Vegas, but it’s time to say “see ya later”- we’ll be back very, very soon. Good times with great friends, (and fur friends) amaaaaaazing food (for the record, Yard House has ridiculous nachos) and only one trip to the strip for breakfast- I didn’t miss it at all. When the…

Liv’s letters

“As I’m writing this, you’re just under 7 months old, you have two teeth, the biggest, most beautiful smile and just started to crawl and explore…” Even with all of the things I do choose to blog, and how often I post, a large majority of my life remains unblogged.  There are the things that…

The leaf + Schweaty August Workout

After breakfast, I love to read to Liv in the morning. It had been a while since I’d read the hungry caterpillar and I thought it was pretty funny that after gorging himself with treats, Source all he wanted was a nice big leaf- that made him feel much better. It’s funny that they teach…

“Firefly with me…

let’s sangria away…” Yes, “sangria” is a verb now. We had an AMAZING dinner at Firefly, a tapas restaurant, last night. Last time I had tapas, I was kind of disappointed. The portions were supposed to be shared, yet ridiculously tiny (like one wonton with a little tuna on top) and we all left hungry…

Vegas is our oyster

We’re in Vegas, baby. My first time staying off the strip, and my first time traveling with Liv on an airplane by myself. It was a little bit of a gamble and I knew it would either go extremely well.. or extremely rough. Like the Pilot said, though, it’s an hour flight and I could…

Maiden Voyage

Oliv and I are leaving for Las Vegas right now. It’s going to be the first plane trips of many with just the two of us, so I’m anxious/excited/scared to see how it goes. It’s been her worst week of teething yet, so please pray for me. Or better yet, pray for the people on…

Meg: Hair Salad

I have a veeery interesting recipe to share with you. This isn’t a delicious Fitnessista recipe…it’s a salad dressing…for your head. Here’s the back-story: My ends have been incredibly dry this summer. I don’t abuse my heat tools and I haven’t been in the pool very much lately but they are sad and crispy. I…

Reader’s Request: Eat Clean On-the-Go

Thanks to a reader’s request, I’ve got some great tips to help you eat clean on-the-go below. One of those tips: Leftovers! I love leftovers for many reasons, mostly because 99% of the time I can throw them in a skillet, add a couple of eggs = breakfast. For dinner last night, I used this beautiful…
